You know, since Patrick brought this up...
NT will, by default, use protocols in the order in which they were
installed. By default, Netbeui and NWLink are installed on NT, and if
TCP/IP is installed afterwards, NT (And Outlook/Exchange) will attempt to
use Netbeui and NWLink first, and won't even attempt a TCP/IP connection
until Netbeui and NWLink have timed out.
If you don't need these protocols, remove them from your NT workstations.
If you DO need these protocols, but use TCP as your primary transport, set
TCP first in the network bindings by:
1. Open the Network Icon in the control panel
2. Select the Bindings tab
3. Click the plus sign to the left of NetBIOS interface.
4. Highlight the WINS Client (TCP/IP), and click the Move-Up button until
it's listed at the top
5. Open up Workstation client
6. Again, highlight the WINS Client (TCP/IP), and click Move-Up until it's
at the top
7. While not as important, doing the same for the Server service can
improve performance if other users connect to that individual workstation.
If your Exchange server is running anything besides TCP/IP (And I can't
think of any good reason why it should), double-check the bindings there as
well.
You'll have to reboot for the binding change to take effect (Not that you
EVER have to reboot NT after a change), but if your workstations still have
Netbeui, etc, they'll notice an incredible performance difference.
